Wonderland: Day One

[wonderlandian]

The residents of Paradisa who ventured into the lobby on the 13th would find something new there; a mirror spanning an entire wall. Given recent happenings, who can blame them if they're cautious? Trouble is, this mirror seems to really want to bring people in, because you don't have to get too close before you're through the looking glass.

Once you've gone, you may find that you're not quite yourself.

[Notes/Reminders: Type 1 and Type 2 characters will believe they are Wonderland natives. All characters, including those not entering Wonderland, will be able to use their journals; Wonderland "natives" will think it is a communication device exclusive to Wonderland, although communication between Paradisa and Wonderland through the journals is absolutely possible. You may NPC any number of Tulgey Wood creatures, except for the Jabberwocky.]

[He watches her, considering]

Well, there's always time to work that out for yourself. It can't be rushed.

[wolfchild]

We'll get back soon. [ Castle may not be better, but at least she's more confident in telling apart plant from animal there. ]

[scinlae]

[ She manages a smile, before she gets to her feet and joins them by the fire, tucking herself close. ]

Thank you. [ A beat. ] The both of you.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He offers her a small smile]

No worries. We all need a pick-me-up sometime.

[wolfchild]

[ Arya nudges Bunny. In a whisper that is still too loud: ] Give her an egg!

[scinlae]

[ They found her at the right moment, and she'll be more than thankful for that. Perhaps more than they will ever know.

It is better by the fire, she decides, much better by the fire. ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He glances at Arya, before smiling softly, placing a paw on the ground. A flower sprouts up, glowing lightly, before the petals open, revealing a small egg on a pair of spindly legs.

The egg hops off the flower and moves to Morgana, the legs vanishing as it gets close to her]

[scinlae]

[ She blinks, obviously surprised by the display. ]

What is it? [ It's only a short moment that she hesitates before picking it up. ] An egg?

[wolfchild]

Eat it! It's good!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

It's an Easter egg. I bring them to the world, but that's a freebie for you. You look like you could use it.

[And it will be delicious, exactly suited to her palette. Magic Easter bunny man]

[scinlae]

Thank you.

[ She hesitates a little, partly out of habit than anything, before taking a small bite. Her expression lights up with pleasant surprise at the taste, she honestly hadn't expected it to be so delicious. ]

It is wonderful.

[wolfchild]

Told you.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He smiles, always glad to have one of his googies go down well. He;d hate to think he was slipping]

Of course it was. Glad you enjoyed it.

[scinlae]

[ Finishing the egg and shifts, making herself more comfortable. It is only then that exhaustion rears its head and she realizes how tired she is. ]

I think... I think I might sleep. [ She curls up, her posture becoming more like a child than a powerful sorceress.

As she curls in on herself she mumbles something, another thanks perhaps as her eyes flutter closed and within a few short breathes she drifts off to sleep. ]

[wolfchild]

[ Quietly: ] She doesn't look too well.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Bunny watches her drift off, his brow furrowing a little, before responding just as quietly to Arya]

She looks tuckered out.

[wolfchild]

Is it this place?

[ She pulls her journal out to leaf through the pages. ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I'm not sure, it could be. There's something...off about it all. Could be she's feeling it.

[wolfchild]

We'll have to stay with her. We can't leave her behind.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Don't you worry none. We won't leave her.
